Charlesland Golf Club in County Wicklow is celebrating 25 years in business, with the club bearing fruits of a €1 million refurbishment recently undertaken to
strengthen the club’s offering. Charlesland will celebrate the anniversary with a series of golf events throughout September and October and a gala evening planned for 21st October.
Developed by the Evans family in the 1992, Charlesland Golf Club appointed Carr Golf to operate on their behalf in 2015 with the intention of using their specialised expertise to improve the presentation of the course and propel the business to a new level.
Carr Golf, the specialist in golf club management and maintenance, has made new staffing appointments recently to steer the ship; Andrew Curry to Director of Golf, Mark Ruddy to Sales & Marketing Manager; and Nikki Mc Hugh to Bar & Restaurant Manager.
Joining Charlesland from Killruddery House & Gardens, Nikki McHugh, Bar & Restaurant Manager has developed a new menu to cater for both casual and formal diners in the newly launched Pavilion Room, catering groups of 10 – 100 for private functions with healthy food options for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. The venue also boasts fitness suites, a beauty salon, a children’s play area and corporate rooms for hire.
Andrew Curry, new Director of Golf, has over 15 years’ experience working in the golf industry and is focussed on driving the developments of the club on the ground going forward.
Mark Ruddy, Sales & Marketing Manager is responsible for the marketing and communications strategies at Charlesland. Mark has held previous roles as Golf Events Manager in Sharjah Golf & Shooting Club and working for the UAEPGA as Tournament Director in the United Arab Emirates.
Carr Golf, working with owners the Evans family, last year unveiled a new three-hole academy on the grounds, resulting in 40 new junior members, driven by a new Junior Club Committee at Charlesland with development of golf tuition programs for juniors and adults.
